Atomised, by Michel Houellebecq

AKA “Elementary Particles,” which is a much better title. No idea why the UK got this foolish title. Surprisingly compelling book about dysfunctional sex, philosophy, depression, suicide, death, love. You know, the typical modern French novel. By the end, though, it goes somewhere fascinating and completely unexpected. A surprisingly tender, warm book.
